All small local businesses where you get to meet the owners! Make sure to wear comfortable shoes with good grip for wet floors and farm terrain. The tour is a must for foodies who love learning about the origins of local products and for car enthusiasts who love Ferrari.

A fantastic visit to a Parmigiano cheese factory, followed by an amazing tour of a family-owned Balsamico factory in the countryside. Ferrari Museum was also ok. Highly recommend!

Great tour, hit the main highlights of the Emilio-Romano region. The balsamic vinegar experience was much more than we were expecting. Cheese farm was an organic farm where you can actually saw how Parmesan is born and then taste it. It was also great to learn about the history of Ferrari.
